Spring Soccer

Casey is playing spring soccer at the moment. It is the beginning of the season and we have only had a few practices up to this point. A month or so ago I received a call from the athletic association asking me if I would be willing to coach and I agreed to do so. I immediately turned to Amazon.com and ordered The Baffled Parent's Guide to Coaching Youth Soccer. The book has been a life saver for me and helped me to organize some reasonably good practices.

It has been very fun to coach Casey along with another experienced coach. Rohan has been serving as our assistant coach. Most of the boys go to school together and they are very enthusiastic about playing together. Casey is a strong player and has boundless energy and runs all over the field without tiring. It is fun to witness his great athleticism. At the last practice we had a scrimmage at the end and split the boys into two teams. Because we had an odd number of boys we used Rohan as an extra player. Only two goals were scored during the scrimmage - the first was scored by Rohan to the chagrin of Casey who shortly overcame this by scoring a goal of his own.
